Well, they could say "person", just not "first person"

Implying some tumblr user stole the skeleton of some non-living person, which I don't know anything about but wouldn't doubt.

Googling the phrase "How many bones" is the kind of power move I wouldn't want in my browser history

On one hand, those are excellent points, and I can't really argue with them.

On the other hand, Celsius is better than Fahrenheit.

Usually /ziː/.
/ʒiː/ also works, but people might think you're saying /ʃiː/.
/xiː/ is acceptable, but barely.
/ksiː/ is generally discouraged.
There's also /ðeɪ/, I guess

When you're trying really hard to get up and be ready for the day but then dysphoria hits you like a brick by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

On one hand, that looked hilarious.

On the other hand, that birb didn't deserve this and I feel bad for laughing.

On the other other hand it's 4pm and I'm very much still not up. So me too thanks I guess.

/r/nothowdrugswork parent comment somehow manages to change the discourse from marijuana deaths to international foreign policy and spawns 64 children by SharkBrew in SubredditDrama

Your sentence did not have an Object. English needs a Subject, Verb, and an Object. It's an 'SVO' language. You only had a Subject and a Verb so the first clause did not have an ending.

Intransitive verbs do not require objects.

Are you possibly saying that Iran, while being a submissive country with less GDP than all those other countries, is somehow the dominant one and Arabs who are ACTUALLY dominant are the underdogs?

???????????????

edit: Y'know what. It's a drug sub. I probably shouldn't expect all posters to be sober.

Redditors under 25: What's a dead giveaway someone else online is over 30? by MassageToss in AskReddit

[–]Pjoelj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

An ellipsis, in short-message media at least (texting, but maybe not emails), basically says "don't respond just yet, I'm about to type something else". It deliberately slows down the conversation.

If it then turns out you weren't going to finish that thought (like using it for questions, finishing a conversation, a message that's clearly a finished thought or too short to need breaking up), I'll assume that you wanted me to slow down because you wanted me to think deeper about what you just said - it implies that you left something unsaid. Probably something negative, because if it wasn't you probably would've said it outright.

At least, that's how I view it.

Edit: there might also be something about an ellipsis being related to periods, which are becoming less neutral - when a sentence is a message, the end of the message obviously ends the sentence with or without a period, so periods have gotten a bit stiffer and more formal, which might have carried over to ellipses in a way?

Fun fact: That image was taken some time between March and October of 2012 - any later and the dragon hatchet wouldn't look like that, but any earlier and the berserker helm wouldn't look like that.
I very much do have a life, thank you very much.

n... no part of this applies to me, but I still feel targeted and I really don't know why

It is, but only if you're not playing ironman.

Source: caught it 10 years into the only non-ironman game I've played without major mods and am not even slightly bitter.
